    Leyton Orient Match Thread

    So, if we loose the next 2 league games will Pressley get sacked. At the moment he is worse off then Andy thorn was last season, so by fishers on rules he should be contemplating clearing off Pressley

    Buying players

    I just don't understand how sisu expect to make any money unless we get to the premiership and to do that we need to firstly avoid relegation this season and then build for promotion next season, and to so that we need to bring in more players. Until then sisu will just loose more money and...

    Sisu are to blame for most things but not today's debacle...

    It is the ACL and the council who have cost us a 10 point deduction and probable relegation. Things were going to be hard enough this season with not being able to sign players in this transfer window we are going to struggle and now with another points deduction we have no chance. The ACL...

    The football league have screwed the fans

    Firstly through the transfer embargo and the 10 points deduction the football league have attacked the fans not the owners it doesn't make a difference to the likes of sisu (the same could be said for Portsmouth) then the football league allowing the club to be sold back to sisu via prism is a...

    CCFC V SHREWS Match Thread

    Unlike in other businesses, where you can sack people who are underperforming or dont work hard enough, in football it's rewarded. If I was fisher I would have some balls and sack all the players, clear them out, especially murphy who talks crap every week abotu playing better, and cant stop...

    New start...........

    How about jointly owned 50% stake by the fans, 50% by the owners of the Ricoh, i.e. the Council and the Higgs trust. A true football team of the city. We could then have a deal with the Ricoh to cover the costs on match days, and pocket the difference. If we could sell tickets at about £8 each...

    Administration- gets you to the premier league

    I never moaned about Sisu not spending money. if theres no money to spend theres no money to spend. I just think administration has been the easy way out for a lot of teams, and those who try to play within the rules have ended up worse off.

    Administration- gets you to the premier league

    but bristol own their stadium, which covers the cost of that debt and then some. And rather then go into administration to wipe the debt they are trying to cut it fairly.

    Administration- gets you to the premier league

    Also if we had gone into admin before Sisu bought us, the £40 million Sisu spent to cover debts could have been used to buy a share in the Ricoh, and spend on players. 10 points deduction is not a very big punishment if a couple of seasons later you'll be in the premier league, or at least...

    Administration- gets you to the premier league

    Southampton went into administration a couple of years ago, wiped there debt, caused small companies that they owed money to to go bust. But by doing that they have got into the premier league. Leeds went into administration, they now have more money then us. we are trying to play fair, keep...

    The reason for the FA Cup shirt

    I heard from a friend who works with City Link that the reason City Links name isn't on the FA Cup shirt is because they are trying to avoid negative publicity with the protest that is going on today, and being associated with a club who's management can't run the business properly. He said...

    We have a damn good team, all we need to do is score goals

    I think that todays performance showed we have a very good emerging young team, we played well and dominated what is arguably a premiership team, we were unlucky and five shakey minutes as usualy undid us. If we could score a couple more goals, or had a better strike force then we would be top...
